[ Atlantis Shipment Harbour, Deck 2 ]
< Target [Theseus] successfully absorbed the Web's glands. >
" This is new... " Theseus feels different, he has never absorbed this kind of liquid before.
He absorbed the very liquids from the webs, the very liquids that made the webs sticky in the first place.
He tries to move, but he realizes his movements are slowed, but in return.
* Clank clank. *
" Dang it! " Sieben-Federn hits him again with his sharp feathers, he gets annoyed at how his abilities are useless since he's under the sea right now, like far away from the skies he should've been.
" I should've not accepted for this mission... " Sieben says to himself.
" I thought I would be of some use, but... " Sieben sees Rachina for a while as she orders her Black Shadows Division to retreat.
" Webs won't work anymore, now that he knows what it's made of... " Rachina gets annoyed, she realizes that she must evacuate all of her Black Shadows for now, in case one of them decides to 'web' Theseus again.
" I see you retreated them... " Theseus says while approaching Rachina's location as she waits for her Black Shadows to return one by one.
" It seems you knew that you made a mistake by 'restraining' me...? " Theseus asks while Rachina hisses, she was quite pissed while hearing it.
Sieben sees this, he realizes that Rachina is not suited for this endeavor, especially since the Black Shadow Elites that were sent to 'this location' are not the heavy hitters.
"( The only heavy hitters we have is 'Dreadbone' and 'Garganto', but they're gone. )" Sieben flies as he seeks safe space.
"( Rachina had the chance to restrain, but now that 'Theseus' here had proven to absorb 'any' kinds of liquids, even from her webs... )" Sieben thinks about this, recounting every information he was briefed with before attempting this strike.
When recounting, Sieben remembers the liquids that 'Theseus' is known to absorb, based on the media and resources that Lord White Demon shared with him, he summarized that Theseus only absorbs plain water, environmental water (sea waters, rain waters, river waters, etc), drinking liquids from any kind of vegetation and drinks existing on Earth, blood, liquid poisons, and some 'chemicals' that he already tested to be safe using his 'absorption'.
"( All of them had different effects on his body, varying in strength and weaknesses. )"
"( Not to mention, his physical status also depends on what kind of 'water' he absorbs, not to mention his level. )" Sieben sees Theseus's current level, now rising to Level 121.
Sieben then looks upward, he sees the Atlantis Barrier from within, the barrier that made everyone who still breathes air able to live in the sea itself.
"( I could destroy the barrier now, with my flight, I could at least make a hole using my feathers, for the 'Thorn Lynchpin' to get in. )"
"( Besides, we need Sireena's Division who mostly needed to wait outside if Atlantis calls for outer backup. )"
"( But again, the problem is this 'Theseus'... )" Sieben witnessed some of the
"( He's the eyes of these creatures... )" Theseus sees Sieben from his place, he can't fly, but he could at least jump high enough if it not for the armies that attack him now.
"( The creature's numbers are growing thin, with this, I need to get rid of that Sky Creature before he does something... )"
"( Especially since he's far above. )" Theseus grows weary, he always had weary suspicions against those that fly, he always sees them as arrogant, thinking they're too up in the skies before him, always feeling insulted as a Divine Blood that there are others who could reach heights more than himself since he can't fly.
"( If father at least revealed my true potential than I could've made things easier a long time ago. )"
"( But instead of me, he had too much sight over my son, Tristan... )"
"( From the moment he had his Tier 5 Gift, Father gave him all of his attention, even giving that Torrent Family woman so much fortunes than what he could've given me... )"
"( I..., the son he chose to defeat the Monstrous Minotaur... )"
"( I..., the one who ravages the ocean in his name, to make himself proud... )" Theseus says it while destroying more Black Shadows with his fist.
His body gets sturdier, and gets hardened even more the more he uses the ability from the webs' very liquids. The more he used it, the more he felt himself full-on defense as if his skin, had armorized itself.
When Theseus finds a gap, he decides to jump, leaping upwards towards Sieben to attack him, but.
" Grkh! " Theseus felt himself cram as if his movable body freezes midair.
< Target [Theseus] body began receiving the full effect of Web's Glands >
< The Glands successfully mixed with the water within [Theseus], making Theseus receive some of the glands' effects. >
" Gah! " Theseus falls before even touching Sieben in the skies.
* Theseus falls to the ground hard. *
< 'Sticky' Effect intensively applied. >
< 'Glue' Effect intensively applied >
As he fell, he realized that his body was getting harder to move, not only that, he also felt his skin getting sticky to the very land where he fell.
" Can't... " Theseus tries to move, but his body won't, he tries to force it but his skin is somehow glued to the ground.
" I can't... " Theseus grunts but then.
" Can't move... " said Rachina coming behind him, she appeared with her remaining Division, looking upwards towards Sieben telling him that it was alright.
* Sieben-Federn flies down. *
" So that's why you retreated your army? " Sieben asks, as more of Rachina's Division began to re-appear from the Shadows.
" It was a bait, to make Theseus here believe that he's going to win... " Rachina explains.
" Our Lord and Master just told me through the , he told me to retreat my Division armies while the others take care of him for a while, making sure the effect spread around his very body. "
" Besides, we can't have him go on a rampage now, but we couldn't also kill him for Lord White Demon still requires his..., 'Gifts'. " Rachina says as she orders her entire Division to Web Theseus up, for good.
" I thought your webs were useless against him? " Sieben asks after witnessing this.
" They were..., to bind him, in his previous state. "
" But now, after he 'absorbed' the very glands that made our webs... "
" He is bound, weakened. " Rachina's Division had successfully bound Theseus, they all then took him in front of the Elites.
" Dear me, so you all managed to capture him? " Sireena comes out from the Shadows, after retreating for a while as she witnessed Theseus' capture.
" Thanks to Theseus' actions actually, also some help from the Master who instructed me. "
" Speaking of Theseus, Sireena... " Rachina looks at her in the eye.
" Please do not attempt to harm him on the Web, he might use it to get free and also... "
" Our Master needed him for something, but not here. "
" Now let's move on... "
